From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes the final poignant standalone love story in the Arrowood Brothers Series. Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships—except how to be in one. As an actor, I became an expert at faking it. Faking that I wasn’t affected by my childhood. Faking that I was okay. Faking that I knew how to save the day, the girl, the whole … the whole damn world.
But I’ve always known the truth—I’m no one’s hero.
Until I’m forced to move back to Sugarloaf for six months, and Brenna Allen offers me a chance to prove otherwise. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, but can’t have. Her broken heart, perfect face, and adorable children turn my world upside down. Instead of preparing for my next leading role, I’m directing a middle school play for this small-town single mother.
All to make her smile.
The more time I spend here, the more I want to stay. Build a life in this town that I swore I’d leave—for her.
But when the world comes crashing down around us, I’m forced to decide if staying for her is the right choice or if leaving is better for the woman I love.

FINALLY! Finally, we got Jacob Arrowood’s story and as always Corinne Michaels did not disappoint. In fact, she made it even more thrilling!
Jacob was the lone wolf. The strong one among the brothers who never saw himself falling in love, but of course, that all changes when he sees Brenna Allen for the first time.
Mourning the loss of her late husband Luke, Brenna Allen is not only a recent widow but a single mother. She never expected to feel an instant attraction to Jacob; and with time they get to know one another and become friends. Soon, there are feelings involved and these feelings are just too hard to deny. Both were well-deserving of their second chances at happiness.
This book had the perfect amount of angst and drama; however, the drama was necessary and not overdone. It worked and this book definitely concluded this series perfectly.
It has been a whirlwind journey of getting to know and love these magnificent men! The Arrowood Brothers series is sweet and angsty, and I cried so many tears with these characters. The highlight of this series for me was all the moments between the brothers. They’re just so close and tight knit. They all have my heart and saying goodbye was such a bittersweet feeling. Though my heart is tied with Connor and Jacob as favorites, really all four of these men are special. Thank you so much, Corinne! I loved the small town of Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania.
Stay For Me is the final book in the Arrowood Brothers Series. Corinne Michaels definitely saved the best for last. Jacob Arrowood is a Hollywood Hearttrob and it is now his turn for 6 months on the farm per their Father’s will. Jacob doesn’t want anything to do with the farm or Sugarloaf. Once he left Sugarloaf, he never wanted to return. This starts to change when Jacob meets widowed and single mother Brenna. Brenna’s son Sebastian is Jacob’s biggest fan so when Jacob decides to help Sebastian, he finds an attraction to Brenna that he never thought could happen. So what happens when one can’t leave and the other can’t stay??? Dive in and find out for yourself. You will love it!!
Corinne Michaels sends you on an amazing final ride through Sugarloaf with all in attendance, Connor & Ellie, Sean & Devney and Declan & Sydney and all the little kiddies. Not to mention, all the appearances of our favorite other characters. This truly was fantastic ending to such a thrilling series.
I cannot wait for Corinne’s next series. I know it will be just as amazing if not even better.
Corinne Michaels truly saved the best for last! Stay For Me (The Arrowood Brothers #4) is such an utterly beautiful story. I was curious and anxious about Jacob Arrowood, the Hollywood actor who was adamant about not falling in love and leaving Sugarloaf when the time came. And after finishing Stay For Me, it’s official that Jacob is my FAVORITE Arrowood brother. He’s such an unexpected pleasure and the level of romance he shows Brenna had me swooning like crazy. Brenna is a widow, a single mother and a very resilient, caring and admirable person. I couldn’t help but love her and her children. And even though Jacob and Brenna’s story is emotionally intense at times, they wrapped themselves around my heart and I couldn’t let them go.
Stay For Me’s storyline is flawless, engaging and Corinne Michaels definitely made me feel a lot as I found myself laughing a little and crying as well. Jacob and Brenna are undeniable and without a doubt they’re meant to be together. It goes without saying that Stay For Me is a definite must read and so is the entire Arrowood Brothers series.

An Emotionally Heartfelt Story
This was a Bittersweet Read as I’m Sad to see this series end But Jacob’s book is a Fantastic way to do that! Corinne Has given us a Story Full of Feels, Our Beloved Characters, Swoons, Angst, Fun times and DRAMA!
I absolutely F-LOVED this story.
Jacob is Caring, Fun, Thoughtful, Swoony & with a heart Of gold. As a Hollywood actor, he got famous due to his Superhero role. (He IS a Hero in so many Ways *Swoon*.)
Brenna is a Widow with two sweet Pre-teen kids: Melanie & Sebastian (I love’em!). Her husband Luke was a Navy fighter pilot & Died months ago in Flight. She’d move to Sugarloaf, his hometown, for a fresh start & to Heal. She’s Resilient, Strong, Kind and the town’s new District Counsellor. I empathized with her guilt & Sadness. (Her Bestie’s Awesome!)
From the moment Jacob+Brenna met, they were Captivated. She had a inner beauty unlike he’d ever seen.
Her son Sebastian is Jacob’s big Fan & J spends time with him, later takes to Direct the school play, to make him (& Brenna) happy. He’s so Wonderful with the kids, it makes my heart swell. And Seb & Mel love him!
“Jacob is nothing like I assumed. I thought he’d be arrogant, rich, and entitled. I thought he would be a playboy to the hilt because that’s what we see and believe actors are. Then he showed up at my door, basically proving me wrong on every front.”
J+B become friends & Everyone knew something’s going on b/w them..
As much as they tried to deny & Resist their Attraction, they soon yield *wink*.
~Fun & Family, Play practice, The Fair & Kisses, Choices, Letting go, Movie Date!
“Taking a chance with Jacob is the risk that might have the biggest reward.”
“She makes me smile. She gives me hope that maybe I’m not destined to live my life alone like my father did. Brenna sees me as the man I want to be instead of the man I forced myself to become. She may need me, but the woman owns me.”
And as days pass, they fall HARD. They thought they can’t be more, that He’d Leave, Back to Hollywood. But..She becomes his Reason to Stay.
~Sexy times, Truths & Realisations, True feelings, Trying for Love *Yay!*, Family Bonfires *FUN!!*, Photoshoot, I love yous *Swoon*..
But then a Movie Emergency Came..& All goes Downhill. (A History Repeats itself *Oh shit!*)
I knew we’ll get a HEA but Still my heart Broke, Danger (wtf?!) & fears so real *Tears*.. Such Heart-racing Scenes! I was praying for Everything to be OK. And when it finally was..*Happy Tears*. The later scenes were So sweet, happiness palpable. Cue HEA!
Jacob, Brenna & The kids make a sweet Family.
~Btw, The play was a Success!
The Epilogue was sweet & Gorgeous.
“What’s one truth about an arrow?” he asks. I fight back the buildup of tears.
“No matter how many times you pull that bow back, if you keep focus and keep aiming, your arrow will go exactly where it should.” He looks up at me, a smile on his beautiful lips. “I know mine did.”
>>Do Read the Stunning bonus Scene!!
P.S. Omg, I LOVE the Arrowood Family so much! It was lovely to see them all (+Some Special Cameos!) here. All the kids (+New babies!) together are so Fun!
This series has a special place in my heart.
~If you haven’t read these Brothers’ Stories, GO FOR IT!
P.P.S. I’m so excited for More by Corinne.
„I want this… whatever it is for however long we have.”
What’s one truth about an arrow? If it’s in the hands of Corinne Michaels, it will hit you right in the feels! Mrs. Michaels closed the series with a bang, delivering a romance so touching that I can’t hold the overload of emotions. Jacob and Brenna’s story was so heartfelt, so incredibly uplifting and swoon-worthy! Sure, my heart was put through the grinder, then Corinne sprinkled salt on my wounds to intensify the sting, but it was so worth it. This hearbreakingly beautiful story is just phenomenal.
Brenna is an admirable woman. She’s been through a personal hell, but she’s not jaded. On the contrary, she’s sweet, kind and good-hearted. I loved to see how strong and brave she was, how well she was raising her kids and how close she was with them.
Jacob stole my heart completely. He’s so thoughtful, caring and loving. This man is a perfect mix of Hollywood star and sweet guy. I adored how down-to-earth he was and that he didn’t make empty promises. He’s unbelievably charming and so irresistible!
Guys, the chemistry in this book is SIZZLING! The pull between Brenna and Jacob was undeniable and the sexual tension was seriously off the charts! This couple gave me all the feels with how they thaught each other that opening their hearts is worth it. They both struggled with their thoughts and feelings, but also learned how to leave the past behind them and give love a chance. Swoon!
And I need to mention some special characters in this story! Brenna’s kids are so amazing. Despite their young age they are very mature and I was impressed with their support and understanding towards their mother. I adore them just as much as I love the main characters!
This is a bittersweet moment, because although Stay For Me is a beautiful book, its release marks the end of one of the best series of this year. I’ve become attached to the Arrowood brothers and their families, so the thought of leaving Sugarloaf makes me sad. Corinne Michaels has created a magical place and wonderful characters who will stay in my heart forever!
This book is now my favorite. I knew I was going to fall in love with the last of the Arrowood brothers from his brief appearances in the other books. He is sweet and caring. He is unsure of himself despite being a big movie star. Brenna is perfect for him in every way. She is smart, sweet, and loving. They both have fears and let those fears determine their actions at times making them even more relatable. I love the way that this whole series has taken characters that are imperfect and show how they grow. This book will have you so invested that you will be feeling so many different things with the characters. Make sure you find a good time to read where you will not be interrupted because you won’t be able to put this book down.
Corinne Michaels has completely blown me away with the entire Arrowood Brothers series in all ways. Each story delivered its own emotional tumult before culminating in a heart-healing happily ever after. I devoured each story, hanging on Michaels’ words, and finished, breathless and already anticipating the next brother’s story. Another epic small town romance, Stay For Me takes readers back to Sugarloaf for the final story in this enthralling series.
Jacob Arrowood is a Hollywood big screen hero, and he is every bit the dazzling, charming, charismatic mega-star. Back in Sugarloaf to serve his six-month sentence under the terms of his father’s will, this big star is stuck in a tiny house on the farm he swore he’d never return to when his world is knocked off its axis by a single mom and her two wise-beyond-their-years children. Brenna, a child psychologist, is new to Sugarloaf, having relocated there for a fresh start following the devastating loss of her fighter pilot husband and to be closer to his family.
I loved how gentle Jacob was with Sebastian, Brenna’s son. Jacob’s heartbreaking history makes him uniquely able to relate to him on a level that only the two of them can understand. Jacob has chosen to live a solitary life in Hollywood, focusing on his career, steering clear of any sort of romantic entanglement. He is rocked to his core when he sees the stunning redhead, and as he gets to know her what ensues is a butterfly-inducing love story.
Michaels doesn’t ever shy away from the angst in her stories, and she coupled that here with a touch of necessary but not overdone drama that made this a story that pulled on every one of my heart strings. Moving, swoon-worthy, small town romance magic, Jacob and Brenna’s love story had all the feels and was full of longing, all-consuming chemistry and healing. I struggled between not wanting to put it down and not wanting it to end. As sad as I am to see this series end, Michaels couldn’t have penned a more perfect conclusion. Stay For Me by Corinne Michaels gets five smooches from me!

4,5 stars
Stay for Me by Corinne Michaels is the final book in the Arrowood Brothers Series. I love coming back to small-town romances. They have this unique atmosphere and a world you wish to be a part of. I loved how the author led this series and showed the true meaning of family, friendship, and brotherly love.
Meeting the right person can change your priorities and needs. It makes you open your heart to new, wonderful feelings, happiness, laugh, and love. But also afraid of being hurt again and seeing someone else mistakes in your new partner. But sometimes it is worth to try because life is very unpredictable.
Reading Jacob and Brenna’s story was an amazing experience. I liked that Jacob and Brenna were real and honest with each other. They did not play games or made false promises to each other. Although both of them were afraid of being in a relationship because of Jacob’s demanding job and Brenna’s broken heart they took a risk. And Jacob with his attitude stole my heart. He is my favorite Arrowood brother.
Stay for Me is a beautiful, emotional, and filled with many surprises ending of Arrowood Brothers Series. I did not want it to end and yet with last words, the author made me rub my hands from anticipation.
A beautiful ending to the Arrowood Brothers series!
Jacob Arrowood doesn’t think he deserves love and happiness. Finishing his stay in his hometown is all he wants to do and then get back to Hollywood life. Brenna Allen is new to Sugarloaf, recently widowed and working at the middle school.
Brenna and Jacob’s instant connection is palpable, dynamic, addicting, and just so hot! Jacob’s adoration for her family as well as his makes him a perfect cinnamon roll hero in my eyes. Brenna’s apprehension to start a relationship soon after the death of her husband is something any woman might go through. But one thing is for sure, they’re meant for each other.
It was great to be back in Sugarloaf! Once again, Corinne Michaels finishes out a family saga with just the right amount of angst and heat, as well as lots of laughter and love. This series will hold a special place in my heart!
The final book to the Arrowood Series- Why does it have to end??? I can read about these guys forever .
You will be swooning from the beginning with Jacob!
Brenna has decided to move closer to the family for kids and have a more stable new beginning for them. Grateful for the friendship she’s developing with the town and the Arrowood wives she meets Jacob. The selfless big-hearted of them all. He builds a beautiful bond with her son and an irresistible bond with her! Like every other Arrowood Jacob doesn’t think love or family is in the cards for
him, after the miserable life they lived with their dad but after seeing the happiness in his brothers’ eyes and how the Arrowood family is growing, he’s starting to think he may have a chance!
Two people who are instantly connected fighting the urge of happiness and love, they finally give in to each other!
Love this series!!!
Jacob’s book brings the Arrowood Brothers series to an emotional end. I have been so curious about his story, the Hollywood heartthrob and the last brother to come back to Sugarloaf and fulfill the commitment required of him to spend six months on the family farm. The one place that none of the brothers ever wanted to return to because of the hell they suffered through for years at the hands of their father after their beloved mother passed away. Being a hot Hollywood actor, Jacob was having no trouble at all keeping the promise the four brothers made of never falling in love or getting married because he just threw himself into every role he played and concentrated on his career. Until he came back to Sugarloaf and met Brenna Allen.
Brenna was a strong heroine who has really been put through the wringer in her young life. She’s recently moved to Sugarloaf after her military husband dies in a plane crash. She’s doing the best she can raising her two children in the town her husband grew up in and starting a new job as the school Psychologist. When she first meets Jacob, there’s an immediate attraction there, but come on, he’s the hottest actor on screen right now, what woman in their right mind wouldn’t be lusting over him?
Corinne does an amazing job of navigating the choppy waters of a woman still grieving the loss of her husband, but is feeling things for another man that she never expected to feel. And it doesn’t help that Jacob has offered to spend time with her son Sebastian and ultimately volunteers to direct the school play, with her help, of course. The slow build to both Jacob and Brenna acknowledging their feelings was frustrating because I couldn’t wait for it to happen, but perfect at the same time because it wasn’t rushed or insta love, they were two mature adults who understood exactly what the ramifications were of them getting into a relationship.
As usual, Corinne rakes the reader’s feelings over the coals and inserts some pretty emotional moments that had me having to stop reading a few times to gather myself before I kept going, hoping and praying that Jacob and Brenna were going to find their happily ever after. Freaking Corinne!
With this being the last book, I absolutely loved seeing all the brothers and their better halves and all the kids running around. Each of the other brothers have already been through finding their loves so I loved seeing the advice and counsel they give Jacob to help him navigate the precarious road he has to travel to get to Brenna. And I loved seeing her step back and use her own training as a Psychologist to figure out exactly what it was she wanted and was willing to fight for.
I’m so sad to see this series come to an end, but I feel confident that we’ll see little appearances from the brothers in future stories. Corinne just keeps expanding her universe, which I love, and look forward to which character is going to pop up in each book. I was excited to meet the character that will be the start of her next series, it is going to be amazing!!

Brenna Allen is a 31 yr. old widow and single mom of two kids who leaves California to be closer to her late husband’s family. She moves to a small town in Pennsylvania called Sugarloaf. She has a new home, new job, and is struggling to find a new normal. All the change is overwhelming, but she must accept her new reality. Her husband is gone, and he’s never coming back. Then Jacob Arrowood enters her life, and breathes joy back into it. He’s ridiculously attractive, and put her at ease with his kind smile. He’s nothing like she assumed he’d be for being such a big movie star, and she can’t quit thinking about him. He makes her feel again, but she conflicted.
Jacob Arrowood is one of the four Arrowood brothers. He’s been gone from home for about nine years when he returns home to their family farm to spend the next six months. He plans to take care of his obligations and then return to life in Hollywood as the hottest new actor on the big screen. He’s a famous bachelor that lives life in the public eye. His life is filled with paparazzi, rumors, scandal, and drama. He doesn’t fit in in the small town of Sugarloaf. His three brothers have all found real lasting love, but a happily ever after just wasn’t in the cards for Jacob. Then he crosses paths with Brenna Allen, and his entire world is turned upside down. She’s absolutely breathtaking, and everything he never knew he needed. He wants her, but knows they aren’t meant to be. He can’t get involved with anyone since he’s eventually leaving, but soon things turn complicated when he’s fully immersed himself in the town, and the people. Will he take a chance on love and find a reason to stay?
Stay For Me (The Arrowood Brothers #4) by Corinne Michaels is a heartwarming, single parent, friends to lovers romance full of emotion and angst. This is the final story in this amazing series about four brother’s from a small town. I adored the swoony Jacob Arrowood and his big, beautiful heart! He loves deeply and completely with everything he has. I really enjoyed this story, and it was a fantastic end to the series!
Wow. I am literally speechless. After I finished each book in the series I didn’t know how she could out do the last one but Corinne has.
From the first moment we met Jacob he had my heart. With each new page he stole another piece until it was totally his.
This book pulls on the heartstrings and makes you feel. It makes you feel hope, romance and love. It will make you feel the family bonds of the Arrowood clan and the powerful words of Mama Arrowood’s truths of an arrow wisdom.
Corinne will break your heart and make you weep but she knows how to mend the heart and put the pieces together again.
This was the PERFECT ending to the series. I loved the “guests” and the epilogue and the extra bonus epilogue. I want to thank Corinne for writing her heart out in the series and for sharing these amazing brothers with us.
This is my first book from this author – shocking, right? I mean, holy hot romance, how have I not found her books before this?! The way Michaels gutted, ruined and wrecked me and then put me back together with this heart-wrenching, deeply emotional story takes a truly special kind of talent, and she has a new fan for life.
Jacob Arrowood may be Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob, but when he’s home in Sugarloaf, PA, he’s simply one of four brothers who formed a special bond over the loss of their mother and their poor excuse for a father. His brothers have all found love, but Jacob knows that’s not in the cards for him. So it certainly complicates his well-planned life when he lays eyes on Brenna Allen.
After Brenna’s Navy pilot husband dies in a training exercise, she moves with her preteen children, Melanie and Sebastian, to her husband’s home town of Sugarloaf. The kids are closer to their paternal grandparents and there are no fighter jets flying overhead as a constant reminder of their loss. Brenna isn’t looking for love, but when Jacob offers to spend time with her son and she ends up helping Jacob when he directs the school play, their time spent together soon turns into more.
Do whatever you need to prepare yourself, but you’re definitely going to want to read this one. Drama, angst, an emotional roller coaster ride and tears are 100% guaranteed with Jacob and Brenna’s story. Their road to forever is bumpy at times, and fate throws them a wicked curve, but you’ll love every minute of this evocative, unpredictable story and hang on every word.
All of these characters are larger than life and perfectly flawed, and you’ll feel like you’re a part of the Arrowood family once you meet all of them. And don’t bother trying to hold tight to your heart because they’ll abscond with it no matter.
These Arrowood brothers and their ladies are really something special. The laughter and love, the heat and heartbreak, the healing and second chances, well, no human heart can come through all of this without being touched in a fundamental way. It’s the very best kind of escape and the most delicious cardiac workout, so while you’re running to the 1-Click to read Jacob and Brenna’s story, I’ll be catching up with the rest of the Arrowood brothers.
What a beautiful, and perfect ending to this amazing series! Jacob is the last brother to come back to the home he swore he’d never see again. He’s happy that his brothers have found love and new families, but he doesn’t believe he is worthy of that kind of happiness. That is until he meets the beautiful widow and single mom, Brenna Allen. Brenna lost her husband almost a year ago and has moved to Sugarloaf so her two pre-teens, can be closer to their grandparents. Brenna, as a military wife, has sacrificed her wants and needs for her husband and family. She is picking up the pieces after her husbands accident and trying to move forward. Her son, Sebastian, is a huge fan of Jacob’s movies, so Jacob is happy to spend time with him. Jacob likes Sebastian, and is really attracted to Brenna as well. They find ways to spend time together, and their attraction and chemistry only grows more combustible. They try to keep their distance, because of the end date for Jacob going back to California, and the fear of Brenna losing someone again. But the more time they spend together, the more they fall for each other, and it becomes impossible to deny their feelings. But what happens when Jacob has to leave and their hearts are in it too deeply? There was so much to love about this sweet, poignant, and steamy story. I love Jacob and Brenna together and their chemistry leaped right off the page! They really see each other for who they are, and the way they support one another shows just how perfect they are together. It was so much fun catching up with all the Arrowood family members, laughing at their sibling banter, and admiring their unconditional love and support. There are also some fun moments when characters from other books make an appearance. Jacob and Brenna’s story was so compelling, passionate, emotional, and honest. I loved how it unfolded with each heartbreak, each sweet moment and each plot twist, making me laugh and cry, swoon and every other emotion in between. I really loved this series and am sorry to see it end, but I know this beautiful family saga will stay with me long after I say goodbye.
If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!!!
I love nothing more when Corinne Michaels makes me cry ugly tears hahaha I know it’s gonna be a good one. When Corinne breaks my heart I know she’s gonna put it back together in the best way ending in a happy sigh from me.
I loved this series. Through it all I gave my heart to Jacob early as great as Sean is I knew it was Jacob for me. I felt this was the perfect way to end this amazing series with the wonderful Arrowood Brothers. *Insert happy sigh here* Jacob is the perfect Hollywood heartthrob. Brenna was made for him and her two adorable children. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of Jacob and Sebastian’s relationship. It was so sweet and wonderful to see their relationship become so special and strong. This book had all the feels for me. Romance, family, drama, ugly tears, and happy ones were very present. Everything was spot on, I loved how all the brothers and their partners played such a role in this book and we even got a few special visits from some familiar faces. I love it when that happens in my favorite books. It makes it that much more special.
Jacob and Brenna make for an absolutely can’t miss story. <3
“What’s one truth about an arrow?” I ask as I look up, wishing it were my mother’s voice asking. “Removing half the feather will create the curve and alter its course.”—I love that all the Arrowood brothers are committed to their one truth. Even when Jacob doesn’t think it’s possible to find his truth his mother leads him to it and his realization is so inspiring.
“Honestly, my mother was brilliant because she never really explained it to any of us. She sort of said it and gave us some crap about how it applied to whatever situation she wanted it to, but it wasn’t until the last two years that I realized each was about our fatal flaws.”—Dec’s candidness about their struggles to realize their worth is so touching. He truly wants & believes they all deserve what they never thought was possible.
This is the best scene in the book. I mean outside of the movie premier how can you not swoon over this? —“What’s one truth about an arrow?” he asks. I fight back the buildup of tears. “No matter how many times you pull that bow back, if you keep focus and keep aiming, your arrow will go exactly where it should.” He looks up at me, a smile on his beautiful lips. “I know mine did.”—yep you heard it that was my ovaries exploding!
Stay for me is a tragically beautiful story of first love & second chances—at life & love. Corinne puts us through the heart wringer but it is so worth it
***edited***DEFINITELY GET THE BONUS EPILOGUE***
This book! GAH, Corinne Michaels is an absolute EVIL genius (or she’s truly Elphaba and just LOVES to gut her readers’ emotions before putting them back together!) Stay for Me is the looooooong anticipated last (?) book in the Arrowood Brothers series and features Jacob Arrowood, the Hollywood heartthrob, the last brother to FINALLY get his forever love….and Brenna Allen might be one of my FAVE CM heroines to date (and I ADORED her bestie Cybil, too!)
Brenna’s story absolutely slayed me! It hit me so hard in the feels and I don’t know why, it just did! I was a blubbering, snotty mess for a good part of the first half of this book and it’s taken me a bit to wrap my head (and heart) around how to write this review!
In true Corinne Michaels fashion, the angst in this one tore my heart out….there’s a twist that I DID NOT see coming that had my heart lodged in my throat for a few chapters (see above for comment on Elphaba!) The emotions, the heartbreak, the laughter, the LOVE….they’re all here, in your face and I can’t recommend this one highly enough!
I am so sad that this series is finished but I know Ms. Michaels will be back to torture us another day! In the meantime, you should start at the beginning with this series and read them in order to get the FULL experience of the Arrowood Brothers! Happy reading!
I have not read any of the other books in this series, but I can truthfully say that will change very soon. Stay for Me by Corinne Michaels is the story of Jacob and Brenna. It is so well written that I felt like I was right there in Sugarloaf watching this beautiful story unfold. There are many different aspects of this book that made me fall head over heels in love with the Arrowood family, from their tragic childhood to their unwavering love for each other. This was definitely in my top 10 reads for 2020 it was that amazing!!
